Hey all!
I delidded my 8700k a few years back with Conductonaut between the die and IHS and Kyronaught between the IHS and my NH-D15.
I seem to strip the system down every 12 months or a bit longer and reapply everything, give it all a good clean. Under small FFT's over Prime9 26.6 (Non AVX) I alway got around mid 80*c at 5Ghz 1.360v. Even after a big deep clean and re apply. The last time I done this was around 6 months ago, so not long at all.
Anyways, the last few weeks I see that temps were rising a little bit. I done a small dust clean and no change. Temps in Prime9 26.6 (Non AVX) were creeping upto mid 90's!!
Today I stripped the system and removed the cooler and IHS. The Conductonaut had seemed to of completely dried out! No liquid metal type residue at all...
I reapplied but this time added quite a norminal amount of Conductonaut both on the IHS and CPU die. Creating a pool effect on both surfaces. Boxed the system back up and.....
Max temp with Prime9 26.6 (Non AVX) 76*c!!
My question:
I always applied the Conductonaut very thin and done so every 12 months plus. But now I have applied for sure more than I usally do, temps have dropped dramaticly!?
Not enough Conductonaut all this time? Or is the lifespan of application around 6-12 months max?
